June 10, 2024

Every time you deny a craving, you’re feeding a future binge moment. Let that sink in, then tune in to learn how to defeat cravings so you can achieve the sustainable weight loss you’re striving for.

In today’s Wellness Revolution episode, you’ll hear from Dr. Glenn Livingston, a veteran psychologist who’s here to teach us how to defeat cravings with an alternative approach he calls “the backdoor to weight loss”. Intriguing, right?

After struggling for years with overeating and obesity, Dr. Livingston spent decades researching the nature of binging and overeating via work with his own patients and a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Eventually, he and his patients were able to break out of food prison, reach a healthy weight, and develop a much more lighthearted relationship with food.

If you’re struggling to avoid your cravings, eat in a balanced way, and achieve a healthy weight, this episode is for YOU!
